Hi guys, I need to copy some stuff from my mac... Can't write to NTFS. However... Don't want to lose all the data on the disk, quick answer, is this possible?!

Don't think it's possible.

No, but you can use MacFuse to write directly to NTFS. Google it.

Ooh. Will do, thanks KPeh

Put simply, no.

You could try something like Partition Magic, but it often fails.

NTFS-3G and MacFUSE will allow you to write to an NTFS drive

Just shrink your current NTFS partition and make a new FAT partition in the free space.
